The
Spacebar

This
is
the spacebar. Use it
to
put
a
blank (a space) in a line
you
are typing.
Sometimes people want
to
use it for
moving the
cursor-it
will move the
cursor,
but
it will also replace any
characters it moves across with blanks.
To the computer, blanks are
important;
a blank is
as
much a
character
as
A
or
B.
Many times
blanks are used
to
separate what
you
type for the computer just as we use
them
to
separate words in everyday
writing. You have
to
make sure when
you're
typing
that
the
computer
allows a blank. Otherwise, it may
not
understand what
you
have typed.
